The Nevada baseball team has gotten hot, and the timing could hardly be better.
With a three-game sweep of San Diego State, the Wolf Pack has moved into the thick of the Mountain West pennant race just in time for rival UNLV to visit Reno for a three-game series.
Nevada (15-16) clubbed 12 home runs across three days in beating SDSU by scores of 14-4, 13-2, and 15-7 in the teams’ weekend series. That result helped to turn the Mountain West race into a mad scramble with a bit less than four weeks left to play in the regular season.
